Coalition trains in Niger to combat terrorist financing 

RIYADH: The Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition has concluded an advanced training program in Niger on combating terrorist financing and money laundering.

Held in Niamey, the five-day program aimed to strengthen member states’ capacity to counter financial crimes linked to terrorism, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Saturday.

Some 25 trainees from financial, security, regulatory, and military sectors received theoretical and practical training to enhance their professional readiness and ability to transfer expertise to national institutions.

The program covered international legal frameworks, modern terrorist financing methods, money laundering mechanisms, financial detection and analysis techniques, and compliance governance within financial institutions.

Advanced modules focused on tracking suspicious financial flows, developing proactive investigative skills, and boosting cooperation among financial, regulatory, and security authorities, following recommendations from the Financial Action Task Force.

The program supports the Saudi-backed coalition’s mission to help member states protect their financial systems from exploitation in terrorist financing.
